happy overrated love day

Don't get me wrong, I think that valentines day is a great way to celebrate with the one you love for those couples that don't usually have the time for each other. BUT - and there is a but - i don't quite understand the whole hype for young couples. I mean, you're with each other all the time cause you either go to school together or somehow, you just end up spending time together...ALL the time! So what's so special about this love day that most of us single ladies fret over? nothing at all. It's an over rated, materialistic excuse for a holiday. When was the last time you had an AMAZING valentines day with someone you love without a gift? how about this..when was the last time you had an amazing DAY with the one that you love?

The point Im getting at isn't me trying to be bitter, even though it might seem that way. It's the fact that no one should NEED a designated day to show a person how much they are loved by you - it should be every day, or at least every once in a while. Balloons deflate eventually, chocolate goes stale, gifts break or get dirty and flowers end up dying anyways. If you're going to celebrate this day with the one you love, do something thats non-materialistic - something that they will remember and look back on this day and recall that it was a wonderful day because of what you did, not because what you bought.

For those hopeless romantics out there that are single, spend it with the ones you love - friends, family, or even your pet. No one said that the day of love was only meant for couples.
